Rock Star?
Rock Star? Give me a break!
Out of the swirling commode that metaphorically represents the think tank that brings us reality tv shows, some coked up exec somewhere decided to go forward with this.....thing. Leave it to reality tv to polish a turd and sell it to the general public under the auspices that the last one standing actually wins.
Wins what?
You get to be the new lead singer of INXS? When was the last time INXS did anything worth paying attention to? Did anyone give a shit about INXS during their heyday? I never heard anyone say 'KICKASS MAN!!! I GOT INXS TICKETS!!'
I think I would have remembered something like that.
Winning the lead singer job of a long dead 80's flash in the pan band who has long outlived their fifteen minutes isn't really winning at all because you're still the lead singer of a has been band who will do one more tour and disappear quicker than Pamela Anderson's sense of commitment at the Grammy's after party.
What's next? You get to be the lead singer of Van Halen? After that Gary Cherone debacle, even The Red Rocker felt bad for them. I'd like to see them try to do that shit with the Ramones, but legions of pissed off punkers would kill whoever won that contest their first night on stage.
Yet more proof that someone needs to step in and put an end to this reality tv sillyness. It's too late to keep it from getting out of hand, so at this point my goals are strictly punitive.

I think you got something with that Ramones idea.
If you can survive it through 3 songs LIVE at CBGB's you get the job as the new singer for the Ramones.
Coming this fall to NBC it's "Rock n' Roll High School meets The Apprentice" on THE NEXT JOEY!!
i completely agree with INXS being beyond a joke atm, but hey, don't diss the only good Australian band that ever actually achieved ANYTHING without being manufactured completely (aka Kylie Minogue).
Blah.
(I'm an Aussie)
That would be AC/DC squishi, don't leave them off the cool aussie band list.
How about a contest for the new lead singer of Limp Bizkit, their career is in the dumper of late.
They had a singer?
How about leader of Journey?
INXS is Australian aren't they?
Yes they are, but so was AC/DC. I was simply pointing out the band to be more proud of if you were an Australian.
LOL!
I get you.
Hey, when's our draft and stuff?
I figured we'd do it after pre-season, that way we know who's hurt and who isn't.
Side note, the NHL draft was last weekend.
men at work!!!! they were aussie too!!!!
=)
Dave, I can't beleive you thought you had to tell me the NHL draft was this last weekend.
Did you forget who you're talking to?
I watched it for an hour waiting to see who the avs were gonna pick.
Hey, the Leafs traded for Jeff O'neill from the Hurricanes. Great pick up. Why am I telling you? I should have written this on Lisa's Blog.
My mistake, perhaps I underestimated you. I've been telling Lisa to watch the transactions over the next month or two as it's going to get a bit crazy.
You're not kiddin' about the craziness of the NHL over the next month. With so many guys being bought out and released, you're gonna see a bunch of nothing teams like Columbus suddenly ALOT better just because they have more cap room.
O'Neill is a great pickup, but they'll probably end up losing Mogilny and Nolan in the end. Maybe Nolan isn't such a huge loss, but losing Mogilny is going to hurt.
Not that either or you care I'm sure, but our billboard near the arena is flashing 40% off tickets...guess the fans (few) here are a little pissy still. We're not in hockey country where people will go to the games just because they can. Here you better not be an asshole and be nice to the fans or they won't go...we'll see if the canes can even
*recover
40%!?!
The Avs only dropped tix by 10%. The penalty for having a great team I guess.
CRY ME A RIVER WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A TEAM!!!
Ok, I'm done...lol
I agree bout the INXS thing, and would bash it but for the fact that my distant cousin/ annoying childhood friend is one of the people competing.
